Prim, that's very interesting. I think this merits its own thread, and I'll probably open one (I wonder where, though - probably There And Back since it concerns writers), but I'll mention this here too. I was told by Alys in Glasgow that TORC owns the copyright of threads posted there, specifically role-playing stories, and therefore, if we wanted to move a RP story here, we would be breaking copyright. I was pretty
at this and told her I believed copyright of posts made in the internet to belong to the person who posts them, but she insisted that that was not the case.
I know enough of copyright law to be aware of its endless complexities and loops, so I'm not sure, but I'm inclined to believe that she's wrong.
I'll post a link to the dedicated thread as soon as I start it, so that all discussion regarding copyright can go in there.
EDIT - here it is:
